New York Shopping Guide

Nolita/SoHo/Tribeca/Chinatown

1

A Détacher

The pieces from Mona Kowalska's 10-year-old collection—multi-layer dresses, austere jackets—are intimidating on the hanger. But on the body, they're perfectly constructed, deeply flattering, and telegraph a sophisticated, slightly unfinished sensibility. Her flagship shop is one of the most serene spaces in Nolita, outfitted with a shimmering wall of tiles, a lime green map of the world, and a gorgeously dressed-down assortment of accessories. 262 Mott St. NOLITA 212-625-3380

Amarcord

Owned by a pair of Italian natives, the newest outpost of this popular NYC vintage chainlet is a slick edge-of-SoHo space full of pieces from big-in-the-'80s names: Martine Sitbon, Katharine Hamnett, Guy Laroche.

A.P.C.

Streamlined, classic, and utterly French, this beloved Parisian line has a serious following on both sides of the Atlantic. You can always count on it for a slim-cut trench, a cotton smock, or detail-free jeans.

Doug Abraham's use of bold, pyramid-like cuts on his Bess line of semiprecious-stone earrings, necklaces, and bracelets is at once unusual and elegant.
